Tooele '08

Now I know everyone thinks Lance & Jake play the Wii, but look at this shot ;) whose intent on winning the most? This is such a great shot of Caetie, I just couldn't resist

.
Masen & Alexis, what a couple of cutie pies.

With Jake doing all the work of pushing the kids. Now who's the favorite Uncle?

Here is Jeff, Dan, Jeremy and Lance shooting hoops.

Well, here we are with 4 of the boys and there families. What an awesome sight! These kids, all of them, are what living is for. What a great time we had getting together in Tooele. Maybe sometime in the near future we will try and do a family reunion somewhere fun with all the families. Hawaii, Orlando, Great Wolf Lodge, etc... So lets start saving our pennies and meet somewhere excitingly adventurous.

Jeff's fun things to do

Okay, so this was taken last week when the huckleberries were on. Jeff and I went picking and had the usual summer fun with huckleberry picking. I don't think Bryce and Lance were here in Idaho during this time of year, but the other boys should remember this favorite pasttime. Of course Jeff just loves to go and pick with the rest of us, 'cause we don't even like these berrries. So he gets to eat all of them. This was not many but Jeff will enjoy them this winter with ice cream. Doesn't he look happy!?! (or goosed?)

Gene & Brenda's visit

Well this is my oldest brother, Gene and his wife, Brenda. Gene was always a goof off when we were growing up and he still is. Every family should have a goof off 'cause it just keeps everything from being too serious. Friday night they came to our home and we had a T-bone steak dinner, from our own home grown cows and new red potatoes out of our own garden that Jeff slaves over. Mmm, mmm good. Jeff cooks those steaks to perfection. I have tried and always fail to get them just right. (It is always good to tell the husband how well he cooks so he will keep doing it) =-). Then Sunday night we went to the parents home and had the infamous spaghetti and garlic roll dinner. WOW was that good. Of course those were the best rolls my mom has ever made. (My dad always says this with each meal). But really they are always excellent. Bryce used to ask my mom to teach him how to make the garlic rolls, 'cause they were so good.

I did remember to take my camera and took this picture of us in the parents home. Turned out pretty good, huh. It is a rarity to have this many family members in the same place so I thought it best to record for future reference when I can't remember when we last got together. Ahh, Life is good. We will be traveling to Utah on the 15th of August and hopefully I will remember the camera and will have more pix then. We love you all and hope to see everyone in the near future.
